Orientation Program on 'Cultured Health Services and Medical Ethics'@PMCH

Udaipur,  In a collaborative effort between Pacific Medical University, Pacific University, University Association of Indian Universities, and the State Institute of Medical Sciences, Greater K, a four-day orientation program on "Cultured Health Services and Medical Ethics" commenced today. Dr. M.M. Mangal, President of PMU, delivered a lecture on surgical ethics during the inaugural session.

Dr. Mangal emphasized the importance of human values in a successful physician, stating that one's behavior reflects their character. He highlighted the significance of providing medical services to patients without harm and welcoming them warmly, resulting in more than half the battle won against illness. Furthermore, he stressed the necessity of conducting essential tests before opting for surgery in diseases that can be treated with medication.

During the program, Dr. Atulabh Vajpayee, Professor and Head of the Department of Neuroscience, provided insights into spirituality based on neurological and scientific grounds. He explained how our emotional quotient (EQ) complements our intelligence quotient (IQ), setting the standard for mutually affectionate relationships. Dr. Vajpayee elucidated that EQ is controlled by the left brain while IQ is primarily influenced by the right brain. When both brains work in harmony, spiritual intelligence is developed, which signifies a form of heightened wisdom. He attributed the cultivation of spiritual intelligence to the practices of yoga, meditation, and pranayama.

Ethics for paramedical personnel was discussed by Dr. Harish Kumawat and ethics in medical investigation by Dr. Ritu Bhatnagar.

On the final day, April 25th, Dr. Pushpakant Shakdwipi will deliver a lecture on Human Resource Management and the Role of Emotional Intelligence in Managing Healthcare Services. Additionally, Dr. Jayanti Bhai Bhadesiya will present his inaugural address on Ancient Healthcare Systems as a distinguished speaker.

This orientation program aims to enlighten participants on the significance of ethics and humanity in medical services, fostering a culture of compassion and integrity in healthcare practices.
